Question 22
The predecessor of 1 lakh is

(A) 99000
(B) 99999
(C) 999999
(D) 100001

Answer 1

To get predecessor of a number, we subtract 1 from the given number.
So, the predecessor of 1 lakh = 100000-1 =99999

In order to cross-check, 1 lakh has 6 digits and is also the smallest 6 digit number. On subtracting 1 from it will give the largest 5 digit number i.e 99999.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
